Breed-specific legislation (BSL), is any law, ordinance or policy which pertains to a specific dog breed or breeds, but does not affect any others. The term is most commonly used to refer to legal restrictions or prohibitions on the breeding and ownership of certain breeds.

BSL judges a dog by appearance, not by temperament. What ever happened to the old saying, "Don't judge a book by it's cover?"

The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621, to commemorate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony. The colonists celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians.
George Washington was the first president to declare the holiday, in 1789.

We all should have MANY things to be thankful for: family, friends, health and NEWFIES!! See our fun Thanksgiving Newfoundland designs, and let someone know how thankful you are for them AND Newfoundlands.
